Simultaneous Membership Program

Serving your country while earning a degree

The Simultaneous Membership Program (SMP) is a volunteer officer training program that allows Army National Guard and Army Reserve enlisted members to also participate in the ARMY ROTC program. Upon completion of Basic Training, a Reserve Component Solider can join the ARMY ROTC program and earn a commission as an officer in the United States Army while completing their college degree. The intent of the SMP is to increase officer accessions into the Reserve Components (RC) by increasing ROTC enrollment from enlisted RC members who are attending college.
